Dear friends of NCSE,
The creationism/evolution controversy comes to the county fair.
Wyoming's science standards are back on hold. A new issue of Reports
of the NCSE is available. And NCSE is pleased to offer a preview of
Brandon Haught's history of the creationism/evolution controversy in
Florida.

Dear friends of NCSE,
NCSE's next webinar for activists is coming up. National Journal
examines the state of climate change education while US News and World
Report describes the controversies over the Next Generation Science
Standards. And there's good news from the Sooner State.

Dear friends of NCSE,
Welcome news on evolution education in academies in the United
Kingdom. Plus a group of Wyoming churches have endorsed the NGSS,
NCSE's Eugenie C. Scott has received a Presidential Citation for
Science and Society from the American Geophysical Union, and Bloomberg
has conducted a new survey on public opinions about climate change.

Dear friends of NCSE,
A proposal to undermine the treatment of evolution in South Carolina's
state science standards was rejected. The American Humanist
Association honors NCSE's Eugenie C. Scott. There's a new contribution
from NCSE in Evolution: Education and Outreach. And NCSE is offering a
glimpse of The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change.

Dear friends of NCSE,
A nice honor for NCSE's website. Wyoming scientists and educators
defend the place of climate science in the state science standards.
Plus a new poll on evolution from Gallup, a new milestone for NCSE's
Facebook page, and the introduction of evolution in middle school
classrooms in Israel.

Antievolutionists Say the Darndest Things

Antievolutionists often express outrage over alleged incivility from those who oppose their efforts to evade the establishment clause of the First Amendment.

Dembski, as the director of the center, also commented on the report in a one-paragraph e-mail message following its release. "The report marks the triumph of intelligent design as a legitimate form of academic inquiry. This is a great day for academic freedom," Dembski began. He concluded by observing that "Dogmatic opponents of design who demanded the Center be shut down have met their Waterloo. Baylor University is to be commended for remaining strong in the face of intolerant assaults on freedom of thought and expression."
